We used a cool app recently for the iphone and ipad called hand a pic.
How to hang a group of pictures on a wall.
Secure the pictures to the wall using whatever hardware is appropriate for your wall type and the weight of the pictures.
Be sure to hang the lowest pictures first in case you need to layer pictures over the line up above.
Outline that exact size on your floor using masking tape.
We used it a couple of times already once for hanging pictures and the more recently to hang 4 plates on the wall.
Assemble the pictures on the floor until you re satisfied with the arrangement adjusting for frame style and size.
Look at every reasonable possibility.
I didn t measure the exact distance between the top and bottom row of pictures just eyeballed it.
Arrange the art on the floor within the given area.
First set out the pictures you want to hang.
Use a curtain rod wooden rail or piece of pipe and secure it to the wall or ceiling.
Measure the wall space that you want to fill.
Hammer a nail into the wall right above the painter s tape remove the painter s tape if you re hanging a group of 4 pictures just repeat the same steps for the second row of pictures.
Made it super easy to hang a series of pictures across the wall without having to figure out where the nails go to make things even.
Hang the pictures at varying heights along the rod using invisible fishing line.
Prop them against the walls and consider your options.
Doing so enables you to move pieces around until you arrive at the optimum arrangement.
Have someone hold a piece up to the wall while you stand back and appraise just cover the hanging hardware with masking tape first to keep it from scratching the wall.
Position the art on the wall with the line going through the center of each piece.
Choose where you want your grouping to hang and draw a horizontal line from left to right.
